Whoever recced this to me, I love you and I hate you. This is a beautiful story, beautifully written, and it hurts so beautifully. It’s an AU that begins in the 1940s, and it’s the love story of Dean Winchester and Castiel that spans decades.

I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t sob my way through the end of this, but for all that, it’s the happiest ending Dean and Cas could ever have. Recced by: The Collectress

A sort-of AU in which John Watson is in desperate need of money and Sherlock Holmes needs someone to pretend to be his boyfriend when he goes home for Christmas. However, their arrangement becomes rather more than just business as the holiday carries on. I’m reccing this purely because Sherlock gives John the gifts mentioned in the titular song. Yes, even the partridge in a pear tree. Recced by: The Collectress

So Q is one of the Holmes brothers, and it’s kind of perfect. Sherlock and Mycroft never appear in more than a text message, but it’s sweet to see the family bonding via technology. Especially when it comes to giving the youngest brother advice about what to do when a certain double-oh invites him for Christmas dinner. Recced by: The Collectress

Derek is followed around by enchanted mistletoe that sings horrible renditions of Christmas carols. Guess who has to kiss him before it disappears? Heheheheh. Cute and Christmassy and crack-y in all the right ways. Recced by: The Collectress

Stiles is offered one Christmas wish, and he wishes for Derek to have a happy birthday. Yes, Derek is a Christmas baby, and if that doesn’t make this cute enough for you, how about the thought of Derek with a teeny tiny kitten? Recced by: The Collectress

In which Sherlock wants to share all the tried-and-true Christmas traditions with his blogger. He also may or may not steal all John’s pants and only leave him with an alternate, festive pair. #redpantsChristmas. Recced by: The Collected Mutineer

Santa has skipped Dean and Sam Winchester on Christmas Eve for almost 3 decades and it’s time to pony up. It isn’t the boys fault that their father tried to gank Kris Kringle and so Santa spend this Christmas trying to balance his books and give the Winchesters the Christmas they never had.

The Avengers get together for a holiday party, with each member of the team bringing something special to the table. Cue the Christmas shenanigans, Avengers style. Oh goodness me, this is fluff-tastic. I am a sucker for a good ensemble fic and, with all the background pairings that I love, the sweaters are just a really ugly bonus. Recced by The Collectiva Diva
